Pray for the success of my endevor

[narrowpathy]

I would like to fast for forty days and forty nights just as Moses did and tithe the money I will save.

28And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

Will you pray for the success of my endevor?

Yes Narrowpathy, don't you love Jesus? At lest 60.

Pa,
Jesus hungered for 40 days (and nights) in the desert.
I don't want to fast longer than that because I don't dear Jesus to think that I'm so uppity that I want to surpass Him at something.

If you really loved Jesus you'd double that, just to show Him how sorry you are for being a degenerate heathen.

Surpass the Son of God? Get real, 40 days was a refreshing walk in the park for The Lord.

He died for your sins, show Him you love Him.

I will sleep on it. Probably Jesus will tell me it's not a good idea at all.
Nevertheless, there are better ways to save money for tithing.

Actually, I'm thinking that even 40 days and 40 nights would be much too long. I don't want to look emaciated as if I had the homosexuals' disease, AIDS I mean.

Oh ye of little faith. Jesus hates weak-kneed lilly-livered cowards.

Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

You made a committment, now stick to it boy! Jesus will keep you robust and healthy if you believe.

Make sure you post pictures of yourself each day so that we might better have a laugh pray for your well-being with accuracy.

Oh, this should be fascinating! Brother narrowpathy, you're very brave and I'll certainly pray for you.

When do you plan to begin? Perhaps we could take turns checking on you just to make sure you that aren't cheating and that, once you become too weak to move, your muscles are atrophying at the proper rate.

Please don't worry about the hunger pangs. I've done a bit of research and it is my understanding that after a while, your stomach will shrivel up to approximately the size of a peach pit and the very thought of food will nauseate you.

And remember to hydrate! Drinking plenty of water or other liquids is crucial. Death from dehydration is extremely unpleasant--although, on the plus side, you would only live about five days as opposed to the much longer period of time it would take for your body to consume itself for sustenance in the absence of solid food.

I wish you all blessings on your undertaking. Glory!

That would be a pretty wimpy fast, don't you think? Either fold or go all in.

Death from dehydration is extremely unpleasant

Not half as unpleasant as what happens when you die unsaved. This could be the last chance for Narrowpathy to find Jesus, so please, no advice from the peanut gallery.

I did like the peachpit thingy, though.

Why stop at the not eating and drinking. You could make it more believable and go and sit in the middle of the desert and maybe set up a web cam somehow so we can all watch you fade away at a rapid rate. Be a good Friday night entertainment to watch.

Re: Pray for the success of my endevor

Narrowpathetic, why not do your fasting WHILE working a second job? That way, you could save up even MORE money for Jesus! If that's not love, I don't know what is!

Also, be sure to take out a home equity line on your house and send Jesus the maximum you can draw.

Do you have a 401(k) or other retirement savings account?

Credit cards?

Any jewelry you can sell? Gold fillings?

Imagine all the money you could give to Jesus via that handy PrayPal button!

I'll be praying for you.

Re: Pray for the success of my endevor

We once had a Nigra Servant. We got him down in the Cellar cleaning, just as Nigras know best.
Anyway, we forgot he was there!
Locked up the house went away for 3 months. Got back home and this Nigras family were whooping and hollering about Daddy in the Cellar.
Anyway, we unlocked the doors and there he still was!!

Dead as a Doornail.

But I'm sure he was one happy Nigra

Not sure what the point of my story was but it just reminded me that my Cellar needs another clean.

Happy days.

Praise Jesus.
